Claire has always worked in accounts and customer services but, when she was bringing up her son, she needed to find a job which worked around school hours. She took up bookkeeping as a freelance job as it offered the flexibility she required. Three years later, she obtained her ICB Practice Licence and now successfully runs her own bookkeeping practice, Team 4 Solutions LLP.

Her journey has not been without its challenges, however. When she was first starting as a self-employed bookkeeper, Claire often worked through the night to complete VAT returns. Now that she has a team around her who can help her run her business, Claire is hoping to do some long-distance travelling and can relax in the knowledge that she has great staff behind her.
